Abstract
The present invention is to provide a connector having a configuration pin, configured to connect with a USB Type-C transmission port and including at least a ground terminal, at least a power terminal, at least a configuration channel and two signal transmission terminals, wherein each of the terminals and channels extends through an insulating base and has an inserting portion at the front end of the insulating base and a connecting portion at the rear end of the insulating base, and the connecting portion of the configuration channel lies between the connecting portion of the power terminal and the connecting portion of the ground terminal, thereby forming the configuration pin between a ground pin and a power pin of the connector. Thus, a resistor can be easily connected between the configuration pin and the ground pin or the power pin according to practical needs, without the risk of short-circuiting.
